Four Pioneers finished in double digits including
Makayla Minett's second-consecutive double-double, her fourth of the season. Her 10 blocks now rank second in Denver's Division I history and were the most in a single game in the NCAA Division I this season through December 29.
Mary Wilson (25),
Ally Haar (16) and
Mikayla Brandon (13) joined Minett with double-digit points.
NOTES:
- Denver forced 17 turnovers against Kansas City, resulting in 15 points. Brandon led the way with four takeaways.
- For the fourth time in the last five games, DU logged double-digit three-pointers, adding 10 on Thursday.
- DU had not played a game in 14 days prior to the December 29 game following the postponement of its December 21 game due to weather conditions in the Denver area.
